D            D7          G                   D
Once I had a little girl as pretty as I have known
D                                         E           A
Lord you know I loved her so and then she left me all alone
G                        D
And I swore here on this barstool
                    D7      G
I'd never make that mistake again
                           D
Well you ain't so fine but you're all mine
         A                 D 
And I'll love you till the end
   G                 D
So darling don't you worry cause they
G                D
Say that love is blind
G                     D
Lust has eyes like an eagle
           E                  A 
It's gonna drive me out of my mind
          G              D
Though my eyes sometimes wander 
                           G
It doesn't mean that I'm untrue
                                   D          A     D
You're not the best but you're the best that  I can do

D  G  D  A  D  G  D
 
D                      D7
You know a pretty girl she'll leave you
G                              D
Leave you to drown in your own tears
D
You know an ugly girl she'll leave you too
    E                     A
But then again who really cares
            G                 D
And then my eyes of blue they cannot be true
                                G
They'll have to stay here in my dreams
                       D                    A           D
I guess that's why old Hugh Hefner invented Playboy magazine
D                D7
So sit down here beside me girl
           G                     D
And I will tell you what we will do

We're gonna  twist them lids and hope
              E                 A
Our kids look more like me than you
              G                 D
And when that bottle is finally empty
                              G
We're gonna tumble across the floor
                            D
And I'm gonna pray my imagination is
      A                    D 
Gonna pull me through once more
   G                 D
So darling don't you worry cause they
G                D
Say that love is blind
G                     D
Lust has eyes like an eagle
           E                  A 
It's gonna drive me out of my mind
          G              D
Though my eyes sometimes wander 
                          G
It doesn't mean that I'm untrue
                                   D          A     D  D7
You're not the best but you're the best that  I can do
               G                   D          A     D 
You're not the best but you're the best that  I can do

G  D  A  D  G  D  A  D
